It's interesting to hear from their family members. Tina was estranged from her family, even her grandchildren. Everyone else can't always be in the wrong. I believe like most celebrities, Tina carefully crafted her image. As she reinvented herself, being portrayed as a battered spouse who never did anything wrong and only fought back once then ran for freedom wanting nothing but her name is a profitable narrative. Even people who may not like her music will still feel sympathetic towards her. I've read Tina's book and Ike's book. I believe the truth is somewhere in between. Ultimately, Ike didn't appreciate Tina and that was his loss. He learned that the hard way. It would be nice to get a real authentic and unbiased documentary on Ike and Tina. Their story has become folklore but their influence is underrated. There's not enough discussion on Ike's innovation, like how he became a successful bandleader as a black man in the 1950s or the talented blues musicians he discovered for white record executives. There's not enough discussion on Tina and the Ikettes setting the standard for female performers by incorporating high energy dance routines. People don't talk about how Tina was a sex symbol of the 1960s and 1970s. People don't talk about all the songwriting Tina did in the 1970s or that she kept her songwriter royalties as part of her divorce agreement with Ike. People don't discuss enough that Ike and Tina were global ambassadors for soul music in their heyday. I can acknowledge their dysfunctional relationship and appreciate their talent. It's a shame that their influence often gets overlooked.

So nobody is going to mention that he took his 13 year old son out of school to go work in a studio full groupies and drugs? And the only person who was concerned about that was Tina? And people still have the nerve to drag her? And now the poor dude is in jail over crack and his lower teeth are missing. Unbelievable.

I believe everything Tina said about the abuse. If you listen to IKE interview, you can tell Tina was telling the truth.

This was a great documentary. Either way, this man was the inventor of Rock N’ Roll - a black man, inventor of Rock N’ Roll. I’m glad he got his music redemption when he got that Grammy.

It’s so sad when people die that out comes all the secrets yet while alive no one had nothing to say? Tina was a strong woman in a toxic environment I don’t know where she got the strength from to put up with Ike’s bullying I loved how she one day had enough and left with only what she had with her she knew it was her time, I’m sure Ike deep down was a good person he was just messed up from drugs and power and the wrong people advising him, they were both great artists I just wish their lives had been better for them and their kids, may they both continue to RIP and their troubled life stay closed as they are not here to answer to any of it so people should respect that & stop arguing over things they can’t change it’s done

Tinas' best friend was telling the truth. There were other folks in the back of the limo when Tina and Ike had that infamous fight. Also Tina seems abusive as well, whooping those kids with extension cords and making them scrub kitchen floors.

I WONDER WHEN SOMEONE WILL MAKE DOCUMENTARY WITH ALL REMAINING CHILDREN OF IKE

Honour the legend rest in peace Tina Turner from Johannesburg South Africa 🇿🇦

Not sure who created this, but I watched it. My only issue is that all these loved ones talking about Tina, were cut off by Tina. She didn't just cut off Ike, she cut off all these people and family associated with Ike. The reasons for that are hard for me to understand. I respect all the people and loved ones who provide their stories here; but none of them literally seem to have had any contact with Tina post 1980 something, which is 40 years ago. Until that is explained, all these accounts and stories seem incomplete. Tina could have easily mentioned all of these people in her life after she left Ike. But she didn't. Why? Why did she cut all of yall out of her life?

I'm convinced that Ike severely abused Tina. But I question some parts of her story. How did she sing with a broken jaw and how did the third-degree burns on her face leave no scars, for example? According to "I, Tina", Ike was insecure and violent because of childhood experiences, and the cocaine made him evil. Tina also says in her book that he asked her, "Why are you talking to me like that?" although she said nothing. Maybe it was because he heard voices in his head⁠-his last wife Audrey said he was diagnosed with schizophrenia. He had some good sides, such as being generous to Little Richard and others and writing songs with a positive message ("Make 'Em Wait", "Why Can't We Be Happy?", "Workin' Together" ...). For sure, he was not a psychopath. From a musical point of view, he was a great band leader (B.B. King said, "He's the best band leader I've ever seen" and "He hears things that I don't hear"), a multi-instrumental virtuoso with a unique whammy-bar style, and a creative songwriter and arranger combining different genres (which is how he created rock 'n' roll).

This is a brilliant documentary.

Wonderfully put together. Wish this were something that could be on Netflix with a bigger budget, they deserve it. The media has dragged the authentic life of these two and made it something so over produced and phony. And honestly so do the fans. So much biased info and strange one sided arguments. Wish people would read both of their books and stop referencing the movie. Listen to all of the people who knew them and see how complicated and real their story is. When y’all are ready to create an authentic Netflix or HBO doc let me help!

That was a good documentary

Good I was looking for a decent well put together documentary more in depth into Ike and Tina turner revue and interviews with close people who were there with them as they were when they both rocked as a power house RocknRoll couple who were back then a cool power rocking duo making a place in music history

Your house looks fine as wine just like you im so glad i came across this video

Im glad she said it, that was a common lifestyle in them days; Meanwhile, if tina never wrote that book, shed still be a hit, yall got to remember, it was young people in the 80s who were buying her records, young people who had no idea what an ike & tina was; great video

Thank you!!!!!!!

I remember seeing a picture of tina doing your hairr what a beautiful blessing you are so proud i love it

Me n mum saw Tina in her very last concert in Sheffield. Wish I would have been lucky enough to see Ike too.

those of us who are hardcore fans are craving more live cd/dvd material from the vaults of Ike Turner . wish the children will release some more of that from the vaults
